[MedicalConspiracies] Mega Alert---Anti supplement bill snuck through

in Senate last night--ACTION

 

 

 

IAHF List:

About, Face!---- Forward, MARCH!

Change of plans from alert sent out yesterday. Scrap that alert, it no longer

applies to what we're facing on this battlefield because the bad AER bill was

rammed through the Senate last night at 9PM, and I didn't get word of it til 5

minutes ago.

WHAT THIS MEANS & WHAT WE MUST DO NOW TO KILL THE BILL IN THE HOUSE

We must make calls to the following key Congressmen RIGHT AWAY all day today

(Thursday) and FridayS.3546 has passed in the Senate, the Senate is now

pressuring the House to pass the companion bill which is HR6168

So..... we must call: 202-225-3121 (Capital Switchboard 24/7) and ask for:

1. Hastert

2. Boehner- (tell him not to allow it to be put on the calendar- he opposes the

bill, but now theres going to be HUGE pressure on him to let it be voted on.)

3. Barton

Wh " HR 6168, the

" A large sector of the Dietary Supplement industry including Solgar,

Nutraceutical Corp, Nature's Plus, Life Extension Foundation, Wellness Resources

and many other companies oppose HR6168 Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription

Drug Consumer Protection Act. This legislation has nothing in it to determine

causality of an Adverse event. Safe dietary supplements would be wrongly blamed

for problems actually caused by pharmaceutical drugs taken concurrently with one

or more dietary supplements- and there would be no medical or scientific review

required by FDA before they could release the flawed " data " released by this

witch hunt. This would be a trial lawyers dream, but its not good government and

it would do nothing to protect the public health. There must be hearings on this

legislation, and there must be changes made to its language before it would

actually serve its intended purpose. Do not ram it through on us during the lame

duck- if you do, you will enrage the millions of dietary supplements who flooded

congress with more mail during the campaign to pass DSHEA than Congress ever

received in its history on ANY issue. "

Put some power behind your voice when you deliver this message- put some

INFLECTION into your voice, let them FEEL your emotion!!

what any of the small, innovative companies such as Wellness Resources or Life

Extension Foundation could afford, and we'd see a total Pharma takeover of the

industry occur. As it is now, we're dangling by a THREAD, but we AREN'T DEAD

YET, and while there is still BREATH in our bodies, we MUST FIGHT!!

IAHF needs your help to get back to DC in January:

If we can kill the AER bill in the House during this lame duck session which

ends Friday, the bill would have to be reintroduced in the next Congress under

new bill numbers- they'd have to try again- and we will have to push very hard

for a HEARING on the bill in order to get the changes made to it that we need.

The other side is pulling out all the stops to get this bill through because it

would enable the big supplement companies that could afford the red tape to

knock off the small companies that can't and the big ones would gain hugely

increased marketshare. Thank God not all big companies are against us! Please be

sure to THANK Nature's Plus, Nutraceutical, and Solgar for being in our corner

against NPA (formerly NNFA).

We must continue to build our base regardless of what happens on this bill. We

must ALSO push for a hearing on FDA's illegal Trilateral Cooperation Charter

with Canada/ Mexico wherein FDA is attempting to harmonize the food and drug

regs for all 3 countries as if the N.American Union already existed. We're

seeing a concerted push to DESTROY our country, and it will be destroyed, but

ONLY if we LET it!

See my petition and please sign it:

The photo helps anyone who sees it to increase their resolve to be stronger than

any hardship you may ever face.

Please help us get back to DC so we can do our work!
